Right, 212 builds are the HTC branch. 215 builds are official MS branches. 215 branch is where we will see the (hopefully, but doubtfully) the new AKU show up for us CDMA folk, giving us the 6.5 native kernel. But i am not holding my breath on that. On to the SYS question.....

Now here is where things get touchy.......

Da_G and I have come to a "realization" (whether is fact or not, unknown) that the sys still needs to pass G'Reloc before new ervius will be able to build properly. I found this while switching his 21501 sys to Ervius old. When I first tried to build 21501 in new kitchen, it wouldn't boot. So I moved it over to old and I had integer overflows all over the place. Collapsed BrowsingCore and BrowsingIE down, and G'reloc passed. Moved that back into new style kitchen, boom, sys booted!

What we think is happening, Ervius loves to suppress errors or "warnings". When in fact, these warnings would be making a huge difference. We think during reloc, we are having memory overlaps. The kitchen is just shoving everything in, overlapping if needed. It won't throw a warning or error because ervius is supressing. This causes, as you know, major issues when phone tries to boot, or continue to run.

What I have found to work best, try to get the sys to pass a G'reloc .. once it passes, I move it into the kitchen. I have found 99% of the time, just collapsing BrowsingIE and maybe Core, sometimes Entertainment is all that is needed.

So, to answer your question, yes, these sys' SHOULD be modified to pass a G'Reloc. I'll run it through G'Reloc when Da_G passes it to me. I'll try a build right off and a build with G'reloc done. I will also run my own port and see which is the best. ;)
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Good news! 21502 is 99% ready! I have one small thing I want to see if I can figure out before I post it online later today (it's 4am). I have Opera working, Ringtones are no longer corrupt, links in start menu/control panel are working, etc. The last thing I am still looking into is the alarm playing its "alarm sound". It plays the reminder sound all fine and dandy. But its still not wanting to play the actual alarm file you set. I have stripped the kitchen all the way down to OEMDrivers and OEM_LANG_0409 and it STILL has this problem. So, it is either a botched OEMDrivers, or the SYS is to blame. I will compare both of these to other builds to see where a change has been made.

I will tell you the secret to the Ringtone being corrupt once I 100% confirm I found the issue. I am only 99% sure atm. ;)

Oh, and I upgraded the kitchen to Ervius 7.1. It has compression built into it. It is saving almost 20 megs on the ruu_signed.nbh. So thats a plus. I want to see if there are any downsides to having all the files compressed in this fassion, I doubt it, but I want to look into it.

Expect a release from me later today, i mean it. :D
[Touch Pro CDMA] jonnrb:
Thanks for correcting me. Also, I picked up a tip at PPCGeeks on how to compile the whole 6.5 SYS. A user there said that you can just remove some modules out of the dump, G'Reloc (no errors), add the files back in, G'Reloc again and the whole SYS will be nicely put together booting and all. I just wish the WMReloc tool would do its job correctly :(

Is sprite backup working?

I can't find it in the start menu or device/program files
[Touch Pro CDMA] sch1z0:
Hey. So I've been using your ROM for a few days now, and the main problem I'm having with it is Sound for Notifications (SMS, etc..).

I am having to soft-reset my TP quite a few times throughout my day which temporarily gives me my notification sound back. I don't know if it is a coincidence, but I seem to notice the loss of the sound after a phone call has ended.

Also, something rather minor, but still noticeable, when receiving a phone call, it's like the normal Windows "Incoming call" bubble tries to come up, but is fighting with the "Slide to Answer" feature. The "Slide to Answer" wins the battle, but you do see the WinMo default answer bubble appear briefly.

Thanks So Much for all your hard work! One of the best ROMs I've Flashed. =D
[Touch Pro CDMA] d4rkdr34ms:
newb cake here:

couple questions

1) what's the ROM for and what is the kitchen?

2)Any instruction with installin the ROM?
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyf:
I can second the slide to answer conflicting with the native call notification.

Is the slide to answer necessary for the in call recording to work? If it's not necessary for something else, can I remove it just by uninstalling?

Anyway, I also second that this is an incredibly well done rom. There are some famous CDMA roms, like Juicy, MightyRom and KK that while good, aren't as good as this one that seems more obscure.

If I could make a suggestion, titanium customizer would be a good addition to be baked in. So users can choose which titanium tabs to include and in which order.

This has to represent a huge amount of work you've done. Thanks a lot.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Not installed in any ROM by default. It's avail from the Kitchen. You'll see a nice spreadsheet next release (in 5 mins).

Thank you both for the kind words and the encouragement. I am hoping the error with the ringtones and notifications will be resolved in my next release (5 mins). I can't imagine it not being fixed, it is tied into the "ringtone corrupt" errors.

Titanium Customizer: Check. I'll get on it.

Stock Bubble: I'll test it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Read the "BEFORE YOU BEGIN" part of my Original post. This will get you started. This ROM/Kitchen is for CDMA (Sprint, Verizon, Metro, Altell, etc) TouchPro's only. If you don't have a TouchPro or are GSM, this isn't the thread for you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
New ROMs and Kitchen released! Check the OP for download links and update information.

Thank you all for the support!

:)Or here is the cab file.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Awesome! Moving to CAB collection on front page! Thanks!
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
Hey

What's the page pool set at?
[Touch Pro CDMA] sch1z0:
Downloading new build now. Then flashing. I'll keep you updated on any findings. Thanks Again for this. Best ROM I've had in a long while.

Random question, is there anyway to get the Facebook App that is from the WinMo 6.5 Microsoft build?, doesn't have to be cooked, maybe just a .cab?

=D
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Sure, I'll upload it in a bit. Got some work to do first.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
16MB. Which is the optimum level for WM6.5. I, as well as Da_G and others, have done extensive research on this. Increasing from 6.5 doesn't really equally increase functionality.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sch1z0:
Ok. Flashed and been using it for a few hours now.

I'm still having the "ringtone corrupt" message - I just performed a soft reset because my SMS Notification Sound wasn't playing again.
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyf:
How would I go about making the start menu have four icons across?
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
Here you go....
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
How do you change the right soft key on the Windows Default screen? I don't want the Comm Mgr. there.

Update: After searching the Registry I see in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome/CClock/ there is the SK2TEXT and the SK2URL. I guess my question really would be how to do you convert the "SK2URL" into something like a file path to a program?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyf:
Thanks for the four-across start menu.

I've made these customizations of this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=481379

upgraded to titaniumweather 4.2

put new icons from the linked page there

added the honeycomb 4-across start menu

added opera favorites removed ie favorites from home menu

And to replace comm mgr with "camera" I installed

JonNRb Camera SK for OR78.cab

It can probably be expanded, camera changed to something else and repacked and installed.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
Any ideas on how to replace comm mgr with File Explorer?
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Yeah, I am getting that randomly still myself. However, it is FAR more random than before for me. Which, unfortunately, makes it very hard to troubleshoot. I have performed another change to my personal build and have flashed it to my phone. I will just have to "wait and see" if it shows up. Are there any tips you can give me to make it show up?

It's not quite that easy. I'll explain this later.

Awesome stuff. Anytime you see my stuff is outdated, let me know. I will add it to the kitchen. I am soo busy trying to fix this stubborn issues, I don't have time to check every package for more recent releases. Thank you!
[Touch Pro CDMA] garyf:
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock">

<parm name="SK2URL" value="\Windows\Camera.exe" datatype="string" />

<parm name="SK2TEXT" value="Camera" datatype="string" />

This is from inside of the cab, it changes the titanium behavior of the soft-key in the CClock titanium application.

This is fine with me, so I'm not going to try to change it. But if I was to make a naive guess, it would be that you can get to that key in a registry editor and change these two values
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
Right - thanks for the info - I'll try to do this.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
That worked - thanks!

I changed the below values for Resco File Explorer. For some reason I had to delete and recreate the SK2URL that was there - it wouldn't save my edit.

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock">

<parm name="SK2URL" value="\Program Files\Resco\Explorer.exe" datatype="string" />

[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
It looks like the "Ringtone is currupt" error is still around. It's not nearly as bad as it was, but it still occurs. I have narrowed it down to when this happens, the Text Messaging notification sound stops playing, as well as all other notifications that use WMA tones. If I go into Rings & Notifs and select say "Messaging: New Text Message" and start selecting the different tones avail and hit "play", only the WAV's will play. The WMA's will just be silent. Then I tap the good old "OK" and it gives the "Ringtone is Corrupt" message. So it has to be something with WMA processing. The Really ODD part is the WMA Ringtone plays all the time, just fine, regardless. It is making me want to pull my hair out.

I have discussed this in detail with Da_G and we have tried yet another fix. I will let you know the results as soon as I know them. (I have to wait for the error to come around, if its going to.) In this case, no news is good news. :D

Thanks for hanging in there with me! Hope you all are enjoying the ROM!

Update (21:41 CDT 5/4/2009): So far so good. Notifications are still firing and no errors leaving Sounds & Notifications..... More to come.

Update (00:38 CDT 5/5/2009): Still going strong. Sent over 50 text messages in past 3 hours as well as made and received several phone calls. Notifications still going strong (texts coming in like crazy) and I can go play around in Sounds & Notifications without issue... I'll post more in the morning.

Update (19:35 CDT 5/5/2009): Ok. It finally returned. I have tried everything to fix it in this build. I am tired of having to wait so long for the error to arrive. I have decided to abandon 21502 for now and move on to 21222. I have heard this fixes this error. If it does, then the MediaOS folder will be to blame and I will be able to patch the 21502 to match. Let's hope!!
[Touch Pro CDMA] blankd3ckskat3r:
how do you add oems that are already made into this kitchen?
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Can you clarify this question some? I am confused on what you are asking to do.
[Touch Pro CDMA] The420Dank:
Hey, I have been a ROM user for a long time now, just earlier tonight I was able to flash your ROM and I absolutely love it. I flashed the 21502 Sprint Optimized version.

I would use this but I am facing the same Sound & Notifications problem... If it gets fixed that would be awesome because I definitely need to be able to hear my notifications to be productive. That's really the only reason. It's amazing how the ROM looks and runs... great job!!!!

I would donate to the maker if I were to use the ROM and I really really want to. I just can't because I need the notifications and alarms, especially the alarm cause I use that to wake me up :)

The only other problem that I am seeing is with the message bubble on the today screen. Everything else seems to be fine. The problem I get is when you are sitting at the today screen and you receive a text message, you get the notification bubble up top on the start bar, it has an exclamation mark in it, and a notification tab you can touch on the bottom left of the screen. The tab is otherwise Contacts until you get a new message. That is the same bubble that comes up for all notifications and to even tell you when you receive a new voice mail or MMS. Maybe I missed this somewhere in the forum but the bubbles are blank and have no text inside. I don't know what the message says/reads. It does tell you at the top of the bubble in the blue area if it is a New text, voice, e-mail, missed call, appointment, reminder... nothing else shows up underneath it, it's just a blank white bubble.

That issue is not a big deal like the sound & notifications one. I see that you have made a post and updated it, so it seems like you are making progress in finding a solution. I hope so because I am dying to have 6.5 back lol.

I'll be back to check the forums... Thanks again for the nice ROM...

[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
I am almost 95% sure i found the problem for the Sounds & Notifications. However, the ALARM is a different issue. This is an issue in ALL CDMA WM6.5 ROMS. If you find a CDMA WM 6.5 ROM that the Alarms WORK, PLEASE point me to it. I have the best in the business on this and we can't find a way to make it work. We have stripped everything down to stock 6.5 SYS' and OEMDrivers and they still don't want to play. I use CHRONOS, a far superior alarm clock anyway. It has never failed me. You might try it out instead. ;) Hit me up if you want a "free trial" of it. *wink*

Soft reset. This goes away.

I'll keep working on the Sounds & Notifications errors. But that Alarms is a diff story as I stated above. I HOPE we can finally find a fix for this soon. Chronos is my work around! :D
[Touch Pro CDMA] The420Dank:
Thanks djbeams. The alarm issue is not a problem I use G alarm anyways. I'll check out chronos to. So you are saying that the WM alarm doensn't work but other alarm programs still do? That's more than fine with me. As I said, I use another program anyways.

Glad to hear you are making progress with the Sounds & Notifications. If you get that fixed which it sounds like you have... I would definitely use this ROM.

I'm gonna try out chronos real quick and see which one I like better. I like Galarm because you can shake the phone to mute it hence the "G" Alarm.

Anyways, thanks again for the response and the work you've done. I'll be checking this thread frequently :)

Questions about Sprite Backup:

Does it do a good job saving information from one flash to another? Across different roms, even from 6.1 to 6.5?

Is it possible to get it from the kitchen without building a different rom?
[Touch Pro CDMA] blankd3ckskat3r:
say i take an oem from calku's kitchen for the touch pro from ppcgeeks and try to add it to this kitchen. what do i have to do?
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Ok.. I have upgraded the Kitchen and ROM packs to SYS 21222. I have also added some cool stuff you all have asked for. Tell me what you think. Hopefully this will resolve some of our other random issues. Check out the OP for download links!

Does 21222 have the ringer error resolved that I am experiencing in 21502?

Yep, so far so good. No Problems for me yet.

I just installed this one yesterday:

21502 VGA WWE ROM - Full - ALL CDMA Carriers - Beta 1

I have a verizon touchpro and it is working great. Only two things aren't working. One is the alarm (which is mentioned as a known issue).

The other thing is GPS. I can't seem to find any satelites. I turned on the location service and verified that the external GPS is set up to port 4 and 4800, automatic... is there anything else I need to do to get the GPS up and running? Thanks, great ROM by the way, runs much smoother than the stock ROM I was using before.

21222 ROM - Full - ALL CDMA Carriers - Beta 1 - Phone won't start!

I have a verizon touchpro.

Just reflashed to 21222 VGA WWE ROM - Full - ALL CDMA Carriers - Beta 1.

Phone won't start, just stays on verizon screen "Please wait, phone starting up"! Am re-flashing it now, RUU didn't detect a ROM when I went to re-flash... really hoping I didn't brick it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Ezurus:
still no good after re-flash... going to try to go back to 21502.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Ezurus:
looks like 21502 worked, so I think there's a problem with the install for 21222, at least the pre-made rom on my verizon touchpro.

Check out this thread over @PPCGeeks:

Try a soft reset. Then try changing the way your phone connects via USB. Go to Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC. Then Take a check out of the "Enable faster data synchronization". Try to sync. Then put it back, try to sync. Last but not least, reboot your PC. ;)

I answered this over on PPCG. Please look there.

21222 More buggy than 21502

For me, (sprint) 21222 fixed the ringers issue, but causes no boots (hang at various spots, TouchPro screen, HTC logo, Windows Logo, etc.) after installing various apps/packages. I tried this with several different apps after reflashing 21222 several times, and it's a hit or miss. Sometimes an app will install, sometimes, it doesn't and crashes the phone. Moving back to 21502 for now..
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Huh? I have never heard of this, unless you are installing apps that require to be run on boot. In that case, it's probably an incompatiblility of the app, not the rom. Can you please be specific on what apps in particular caused the phone to hang? BTW, sometimes a phone will hang on the 2nd splash. IT can take a couple mins to get through that. What apps are you installing that is causing the phone to reset?
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Oh.. and I just wanted to drop a BIG THANK YOU!!!!! to the person that donated weto my fund yesterday. I forgot to mention this last night and just got the reminder email from PayPal. You were the first (and so far, only) person to donate! But it is much appreciated and will go to helping develop these ROMs! Thank you again! You will get a personal email from me later with more details.
[Touch Pro CDMA] wjohnst2:
Right now I feel like a idiot. Between 21502 and 21222 I didn't clear the memory and that appears to have been what was causing my problems. I remembered when I went back to 21502 and thought to myself, did I do it when I went to 21222 so I tried again going to 21222 and everything seems to be working now. Just put the " Kick Me " sign on my back :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] RustyGrom:
Thanks for the ROM. I'm new to the Touch Pro (but had a Mogul and 6700 before that) and it's definitely one of the best roms I've used. Other than the already known issues, one odd (but really not a big deal) one. Themes aren't working correctly. It seems to use some other theme than the one you have selected. I can't pinpoint the "logic" behind it though. I thought it was using the one you had previously selected instead of the current selected but it doesn't seem to be doing that anymore. I was using the Juicy ROM from ppcg but this one is definitely a notch above.
[Touch Pro CDMA] jackassxl101:
So i tried to use this and my phone is bricked and wont start up.

How can i fix this lol.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
Depends. What ROM did you flash? Was it the Kitchen? have you ever flashed a rom before? What type of TP do you have? Who is your provider? How far did it get in the process? Where does it get stuck at on boot? Etc, etc, etc.
[Touch Pro CDMA] djbeames:
For my Verizon Folk: Here are 3 test builds of 21222. I assure you one will work. Let's see which one it is? I need your help in doing so though. Download those these and tell me which ones work and which ones do not. Then we can get you all up and running completely. :)

Thanks!!

EDIT: Deleted the links. VZW is fixed in 21222 beta 2.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cmajewsk:
I have seen this as well. This is especially true if you install a separate theme. I was using the Red Crimson and then uninstalled and went to the Bliss theme, and now remnants from Red Crimson are left over - like the icons, and the clean bar...oh well - not an issue with this ROM per se, more than likely 6.5 and these themes.
[Touch Pro CDMA] biggmicc22:
the sound after i flashed this rom is totally distorted.

Its very low and very muffled. Can you help me as what to do to get it back to a better sound?

Oh and i flashed for the Sprint 20122 beta full
[Touch Pro CDMA] fun_gary:
calls won't hang up?

I am using the full sprint opt. version 21222. I have noticed that when i inadvertently tap one of the recent calls listed at the top of the phone screen, it dials them damn near instantly. This wouldn't be that great a problem, except that sometimes it seems the hang up key becomes disabled or something and i can't terminate the call. I have to end up pulling the battery to end the call.

has anyone else experienced this? if so, do you have a fix?

Also, BTW, has anyone else noticed that names in the recent calls/contact list in the phone app will become garbled and overwrite each other when scrolling down with the D-pad?

thanks to all! And thanks for a great ROM!

Internet Stop Working

Hi Guys,

I just installed 21222 on Wednesday and everything was working great, all of a sudden the internet stop working today, I am getting EVO signal but nothing seems to get my internet back. I am wondering if it is something link to the room, I will revert back to stock and let you know what's going on. Not even sprint can figure out what's going on with my phone. I am putting the stock back as I type this message, will report back in a few.
[Touch Pro CDMA] wjohnst2:
21222 Pretty buggy for me

Well, after playing with 21222 (Sprint Optimized) for several days now, it seems quite unstable. I have yet to keep it running for 24 hours until I need to reflash as it crashes, then hangs at one of the screens after boot. Sometimes I can install tons of stuff before it crashes, sometimes it will crash with nothing installed. IMAP mail is buggy too, messages will be visable for a while, then they only show the header info, and no body of the message, reboot fixes this.

Do I understand that 21222 is MS RC1? What is the history behind 21502? Is 21502 later, but not a RC? If 21222 was stable, it looks great... I had your 21502 before and it was pretty stable, but I love the 4 columns of icons under start so much, I'm trying to give a good spin around the block.

hey guys quick question:

btw, This is the first rom update I've done, so I have 0 experience hehe.

I have a Verizon htc touch pro (cdma from what i've read). I installed Hard Spl without any problems. Rebooted the phone and tried to install this ROM. The install went fine without any errors and when the phone tries to boot up it sits at the "Please wait, phone starting up" screen (I've let it sit for about 20 minutes now). I'm assuming the phone is bricked at this point? hehe any thoughts?

Sorry, once again, I'm a n00b =/
